Tang Ren squatted in front of the stall in the amusement park, raised his mobile phone flashlight to shine on the bronze Guanyin: "Boss, why doesn't your Guanyin have a Buddha head?" The stall owner's face suddenly changed, picked up the Buddha statue and walked into the inner room. Qin Feng glanced at the stall and saw half a pawn ticket pressed on the stall, which was exactly the Buddha head theft reported by the Cultural Relics Bureau.
Su Chen held up the evidence bag in the police laboratory: "There are fresh cut marks on the broken part of the Buddha head, and the metal composition is consistent with the tools seized in the museum theft in 1987." The centrifuge suddenly stopped, and he stared at the sediment with a frown, "There are also heroin residues."
When following the stall to the dock warehouse, Tang Ren sneezed because of the smell of seafood. Qin Feng locked the container being loaded with binoculars. The container number was consistent with the ship involved in the cross-border drug trafficking case last month. Su Chen dug out a syringe from the garbage dump, and the needle residue test showed a mixture of incense ash and heroin.
"They... they are using Buddha statues to transport drugs!" Qin Feng opened the secret compartment disguised as a Buddha's altar. Three kilograms of drugs were wrapped in candles. "The drug... the purity of the drug is 20% higher than that on the market. It is a new processing technology."
When raiding the drug factory, Tang Ren knocked over a paint barrel and found that the wall painting of Sakyamuni was painted with cocaine solution. Su Chen found a Buddha head mold in the boiler room, with chemical equations engraved on the inside: "This is a replica of a cultural relic using 3D printing technology, and the inside is hollow to transport drugs."
In the interrogation room, Tan 덿 suddenly twitched: "Guanyin will punish you..." The autopsy showed that a micro heroin sustained-release device was implanted in his heart - this is a common method used by drug lords in Southeast Asia to execute traitors.
While tracking down the freighter, Qin Feng discovered an anomaly in the captain's diary: "It stops at the Mazu Temple on the first and fifth day of every month, but the navigation records show it wandering on the high seas." Su Chen dived into the engine room and found a secret door at the base of the Mazu statue, inside which was a mobile drug-making laboratory.
Tang Ren sneaks into the temple disguised as a pilgrim. He takes a photo of the "donation box" with his mobile phone, which is actually the terminal of drug trafficking. When he tries to collect evidence, the temple priest suddenly rings the bronze bell - a warning signal for drug dealers.
During the roundup, the suspect hijacked the hostages and retreated to the main hall. Tang Ren climbed up the beams to scatter incense ash, and the dust exposed the hidden drug packaging line. Qin Feng knocked down the candlestick when he was not prepared, and the burning butter ignited the drug raw materials. The suspect was subdued while coughing.
Su Chen found a list of accounts inside the Buddha statue, which involved many politicians and businessmen. When the media asked about the details of the case, Tang Ren hugged Qin Feng's neck and laughed: "This is called surveillance everywhere!"

The closing celebration party was held at a food stall on the pier. Tang Ren arranged the garlic vermicelli and scallops into an eight-diagram formation: "This is called seafood feng shui layout. It guarantees that the case will go smoothly!" Qin Feng used chopsticks to pick up the abalone at the "eye of the formation", revealing a napkin on the surface - it was printed with the smuggling ship company's ordering phone number.
Su silently pieced the seafood shells together to form a Buddha head. "The metal composition shows that the Buddha head that was melted is not the same one." He pushed his glasses. "Last month, I went to the provincial temple to report that the Buddha statue was stolen. The method was the same."
Tang Ren suddenly knocked over the vinegar dish, and the brown liquid spread across the table to form the outline of the coastline: "Isn't this the route map of the freighter?" He dipped his brush in vinegar and drew a few islands. "When I was delivering goods last week, the fishermen said there were midnight bells on these islands."
The trio disguised themselves as fishermen and explored the nameless island at night. When Qin Feng was adjusting the snorkel, the fishing line suddenly straightened - what was caught was not a fish, but a bronze bell hammer wrapped in seaweed. Tang Ren used a scoop net to pick up the drifting bottle. The message in the bottle was actually written with incense ash, and the longitude and latitude coordinates were revealed after ultraviolet light exposure.
Su Chen scraped the green rust off the bell and hammer: "The ratio of copper to tin is consistent with that of Tang Dynasty instruments, but there is diesel residue mixed in the rust layer." He pointed to the reefs in the distance, "When the tide goes out, the oil pipeline will be exposed."
Just as Qin Feng was contacting the coast guard, a searchlight suddenly swept across the sea. Tang Ren hurriedly reeled in his fishing rod, and the hook was hung on the periscope. The waves raised by the smuggling submarine Canghuang's diving wet the drug packaging machine hidden behind the reef.

When raiding the drug-making factory at the Mazu Temple, Tang Ren was trapped by the incense table. Qin Feng found fresh cracks in the corners of the statue's eyes: "Tears...tear marks are caused by strong acid corrosion." He gently pushed Mazu's hand, and the secret door burst open, and three tons of drug-making raw materials filled the secret room.
Su Chen found bloody work clothes on the altar: "The fibers on the cuffs match the cut marks on the Buddha head." When he raised the ultraviolet lamp, hundreds of bloody fingerprints appeared on the wall - all the personal information left by the silenced movers.
Tang Ren suddenly pointed at the altar and shouted: "Look! There is my delivery slip among the offerings!" The "blessed Buddhist beads" he bought online last week were actually used by drug dealers to mark batches of drug shipments.
---
The encrypted files in the hacked computer gave the technical department a headache. Tang Ren accidentally scattered the Buddhist beads on the keyboard, and the beads' rolling tracks spelled out the password "Namo Amitabha". The moment Qin Feng opened the account, his pupils shrank - the flow of funds involved seven listed companies.
"This... this is using the money from incense donations to launder drug money!" Qin Feng pulled up the electronic records of the donation box, "Each... each donation corresponds to a different stock account."
When Su Chen compared the database, he found that the fingerprints of the CEO of a listed company matched the residue on the Buddha head cutting tool. On the eve of the arrest, Tang Ren pretended to be a Feng Shui master outside the CEO's villa and sent thermal images to the command car with a compass antenna.

When the inter-provincial joint network was closed, heavy rain fell. The target person hid in the imitation painting boat, and Tang Ren rowed the lotus-picking boat close to him: "Shi, your forehead is black!" Suddenly, he threw out a fishing net and entangled the propeller. When Qin Feng led the special police team to raid from the water, he found that the compartment of the cabin was filled with forged accounts.
Su Chen spent three days and three nights in the evidence room and finally pieced the fragments of the Buddha head back to their original appearance. When the cultural relic expert was amazed at the restoration skills, he pointed to the fine seams and said, "Here, epoxy resin mixed with heroin is used as an adhesive. When heated, it will emit a special smell to guide the pigeons to transport it."
At the press conference, Tang Ren grabbed the microphone and said, "This is the law of justice!" The big screen behind him suddenly cut to real-time surveillance - the "consecrated" Buddha statue on his fortune-telling stall was being surrounded by drug-sniffing dogs, which were barking wildly.
